And another day of hate, recordings, mournings, and a birth control app comes to a close:

“There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.” -- Harry S Truman

Immigrants cost the health care system less than US-born Americans. The report found that immigrants make up 12% of the population, but only account for 8.6% of total U.S. healthcare spending. But Trumpers don’t care about facts. Gotta scare ya!

Memo shows Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh resisted indicting a sitting president.

Psychologists surveyed hundreds of alt-right supporters. The results are unsettling. Participants are asked to rate where certain groups fall on this scale from 0 to 100. Zero is not human at all; 100 is fully human. On average, they rated Muslims at a 55.4 (again, out of 100), Democrats at 60.4, black people at 64.7, Mexicans at 67.7, journalists at 58.6, Jews at 73, and feminists at 57. These groups appear as subhumans to those taking the survey. And what about white people? They were scored at a noble 91.8. What the actual fuck? There is so much more. Check it out. 


Omarosa recorded John Kelly firing her...in the Situation Room. Such great security. Wasn’t there something about email or whatnot before the election? I can’t quite remember.

Aurora parents fighting to stop legally adopted 4-year-old daughter from being deported.

White nationalists who rallied in Washington on Sunday were vastly outnumbered by throngs of counterprotesters.

An ex-girlfriend’s son said he had seen text messages from Rep. Keith Ellison (the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee) threatening his mother and a video of him dragging her off a bed. He denies it.

Jakarta, the fastest-sinking city in the world. The Indonesian capital of Jakarta is home to 10 million people but it is also one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world. If this goes unchecked, parts of the megacity could be entirely submerged by 2050, say researchers. Is it too late?

Germany has lifted a ban on Nazi symbols being used in computer games.

Jury awards $289M to man who blames Roundup for cancer.

Killer whale mother finally lets dead newborn calf go. "Her tour of grief is now over" and now the mother orca has finally let her dead newborn calf go, after carrying its body for at least 17 days. Yet animals are incapable of feeling emotions.

The FDA has given the green light to a birth control app to be marketed as a method of contraception.

On 'mission to touch the sun,' Parker Solar Probe has launched.

“It’s not a faith in technology. It’s a faith in people.” -- Steve Jobs

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
